This is a weekly check-in for those of us who beat IF and got pregnant, but sadly have suffered a loss. It is hard enough to face infertility, but adding in the fear of mc/pregnancy loss makes our journeys all the more stressful. This check-in is just a way to provide extra support to each other. If you want to be on the list just respond to this post with an intro and your EDD(s) and I'll add you.

*Give us a general update on your treatments or whatever is going on with you.
** QOTW: What is your favorite thing about spring
